Who's wearing one?
I bought 2 poppies today, one for the men and women who fought in the wars to protect us, one for the Iraqi war and the 133 Canadians that have perished so far.
I wear them proudly.  |

Re: Who's wearing one?
Put a pound in the collection tin, but it's pouring with rain and I'm in an anorak, so didn't take a poppy.
Will get one when I'm home and not having to puncture waterproofs to wear one! |

Re: Who's wearing one?
Our ladies auxiliary at work sells poppies in August at the street fair. I just made what we call poppy plates to sell in October and November. The money goes to disabled veterans. We do pretty well on it.

Re: Who's wearing one?
We have quite a few done in memory of people. When a dear friend of mine passed away, I collected $60 for the one plate and squeezed everyone's name on it. He would have loved knowing the plate made so much for such a good cause.
